'Off The Ball' team's debut brings eclectic mix of sport and humour

THE award-winning 'Off The Ball' team make their debuts in the Irish Independent today with the type of eclectic mixture that listeners on the popular nightly 'Newstalk' show have become accustomed to.

Ger Gilroy, Joe Molloy, Colm Parkinson, Michael McCarthy, Diarmuid Lyng and Donny Mahoney cover all bases from meeting one of Ireland's most recognisable fighters, to being bored in Barcelona and on to wearing a full Clare kit in the office.

That's as well as analysis of the Laois managerial situation and background on what makes Tyrone footballers tick.
